Axure Version 4 Released
One more post and then I’m done spamming this site. Promise.
Axure v4 was released this week. You can download a 30-day free trial copy at http://axure.com/downloads.aspx.
There are some great new features:
- Interactions: You can make prototypes respond to MouseOn and MouseOut events
- Dynamic Panels: Widgets for which you can define multiple states, triggered by interactions
- Masters on masters: You can now add a master to a master, which is something you couldn’t do before
- Radio button grouping: You can now make radio buttons single select
- CSV report generator: I haven’t played with this yet, but this might allow for some better integration with, e.g., Rational products for tracing requirements and such
- Ultra-configurable Functional Spec generation: There’s pretty much nothing about your functional spec that you can’t control now… however I’ve played with this a bit and it still seems a little buggy.
And there’s a whole slew of other stuff. Check it out if you’re so inclined.

I have used this product for a year now and have been pleased witht he speed at which I can spec something out for a discussion (or in one) especially once I have a library of components I could pull from. I haven’t had time to play with the new features. Does it seem more stable - it does a bit to me.
I never had stability issues with version three, only strange, non-standard interface niggles. These have mostly been gotten rid of. There do appear to still be some bugs in the functional spec generation. But it is SO much more configurable now than it was, which makes it much more useful.
